Seeing her kneel down, Princess Pingning had a few more thoughts in her mind, but she was in no hurry to help her up. With a pair of sharp eyes, she looked at the person kneeling on the cold stone slab, "Oh? "Why is that?"

Her tone rose by several notches. Although she was a woman, she still gave off an imposing aura. She stood there, and not a single one of them dared to make a sound. They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

In the midst of the silence, a clear and melodious female voice rang out.

"Reporting to Grand Princess Pingning, this subject's daughter is the legitimate daughter of my father. As such, I failed to properly discipline the Sisters that was born in my family and caused her to spout nonsense. This subject's daughter rarely goes out the door, but it makes Grand Princess Pingning unhappy. In this way, this subject's daughter has committed a heinous crime. Xia Weilan frowned, the phoenix eye had an apologetic tone, and her tone showed that she was blaming herself. After she finished speaking, she clasped her hands together and kowtowed deeply.

Everyone was surprised. They all had their own ulterior motives, but none of them dared to make a sound.

The air was filled with a dangerous atmosphere, just at this time, Grand Princess Ping Ning laughed out loud. Everyone was even more shocked, Xia Weilan was kneeling on the ground, her brows slightly lowered, her long eyelashes covering up the complex emotions in her eyes.

"Get up, I met you here today, it is likely fate has brought us together. This golden hairpin was given to you by the late emperor, today This Palace will give it to you." The Ping Ning Grand Princess slowly pulled out the golden hairpin from his head, lowering his body slightly to help Xia Weilan up. His tone carried an unknown Smiling.

It had to be known that the late emperor really liked his daughter when she was married to the Duke of Pingning Kingdom, so he gave her five kilometers of red makeup, and gave Xia Weilan the late emperor's gift today. The meaning in that was self-evident.

Xia Weilan felt the cold Qi behind him, and let out a sneer, her expression did not change at all. She slowly stood up, and looked at the lady in front of him who was releasing a strong Smiling, before she could reject, Princess Ping Ning stepped forward and gently inserted the golden hairpin into her head.

"So beautiful, she looks even more similar to the daughter of This Palace." The Grand Princess was in a trance. Her tone was indifferent, but it seemed as if she was concealing an infinite amount of sorrow.

Xia Weilan's heart seemed to be stuck in a knot as she looked at the Grand Princess Ning in front of her. Her gaze was distant and distant, and even though she was looking at him, it was also as if she was looking at someone else.

"This subject thanks Grand Princess Pingning, but how could this subject accept such a precious gift!" Xia Weilan's tone was choked with sobs, as though she was about to cry.

Grand Princess Ping Ning grabbed Xia Weilan and stopped him from kneeling.

"Even though This Palace is the Grand Princess of Pingning, we were fated to meet today. If you truly feel bad about this, why don't you come to the residence of the This Palace and chat for a bit more, treating it as a form of apology?" The Ping Ning Grand Princess's hand grabbed hold of Xia Weilan's hand with a Smiling in between his eyebrows.

"As the Grand Princess of Pingning commands, this subject shall obey." Xia Weilan slightly nodded her head, looking at Yun Che with a Smiling in his brows.

She knew that she had borrowed the light of Grand Princess Pingning's dead daughter. This opportunity was not bad either.

"Ping …" A noble woman wanted to speak, but Grand Princess Pingning did not even look in her direction. His entire mind and body were focused on the woman called Xia Weilan.

Time passed very quickly, and Xia Weilan only felt that after a while, the sky had turned dark.

The setting sun in the distance seemed to tear out a lazy arc, and the large fiery clouds resembled the rosy glow on the side of a girl's face.

This Palace is also tired today, all of you should leave as well. Grand Princess Pingning waved at the crowd with a look of exhaustion on his face.

palace maid behind her immediately held her hands, looking respectful.

When they parted ways, the Grand Princess Ning turned to look at Xia Weilan. There seemed to be an unlimited amount of meaning in his eyes, yet no one was able to find anything.

Xia Weilan lowered her head slightly as she stared at the distant figure of Princess Pingning, and the corners of her lips curled up. Today, she seemed to be one step closer to her goal.

"As expected of the direct descendant, she is indeed graceful!"

"Of course. I didn't see Grand Princess Pingning bestow the Emperor's gift to her."

"That concubine just now couldn't even compare to her!"

Whispering sounds came from beside Xia Weilan's ears. The smile on her face became even more brilliant, and her eyes seemed to have stars in them.

"Miss, please get in the car." A carriage driver appeared from the side and bowed to the body as he spoke respectfully.

Xia Weilan looked up at the sky and thought, it's not that far, how about …

"You guys can go back first. I want to walk by myself." She gently opened her red lips as she ordered.

"This little one is only following orders." The driver's body was a bit stiff, its tone hesitating, but its movements did not change, as if it wanted her to climb onto the Carriage.

Xia Weilan's heart became gloomy. She only wanted to walk around randomly, but now that even the carriage driver belonged to them, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

"If I say that I will leave, then I will leave myself. Could it be that you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion?" Her red lips slightly opened, and her tone was calm and impressive. An unknown emotion flashed within the phoenix eye, and it was enough to make people feel a sense of oppression.

The surroundings were filled with a low pressure, the Carriage driver's body was trembling, her eyebrows twitched, and her eyeballs rolled around, as though she was considering something, but in the end she did not dare to say anything else and silently retreated.

Seeing his unreconciled look, Xia Weilan's heart felt better, but thinking about how he was going to return to the repressed Hou Mansion, her heart sank even more.

Not long after, she arrived at the street. Although it was late in the night, the number of people passing by did not decrease. There were all kinds of snacks, hawking sounds, and some novelty items that were eye-catching.

Looking at the distant sky and at the various people, Xia Weilan suddenly felt that the ground beneath her feet was not real. The instant her thoughts went far, she felt her body being forcefully pulled towards a certain direction.

Xia Weilan only felt that the strength was extremely big, just as she wanted to shout out, her mouth was covered, and in the next moment, she was pushed against the ice wall.
